Sure. We can also treat cancer better than ever before, but it would still be interesting to know where the rise in cancer cases came from, even if we can patch around the problem and are better off overall. Same for dental health: my understanding is also that people didn't used to need toothpaste to enjoy a comparable dental health
a lot of it comes from better detection as much as poor diets and very low amounts of exercise.
My understanding is that they were often missing multiple teeth.
